Life In 19x19

I am planning to buy some go books, so my question is: How can I pay the least money for shipping. Either from shops or private sales...

I assume you're in europe, so I'd suggest some of the european shops.

For free shipping, you can try Book Depository, but I doubt you can find many go books there: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/WEBSITE ... mepage.php

I am Europe, Croatia. Schaakengo has free shipping over 125 euro, and my budget is below that, and book depository has no go books(I found one about basics).

Well, expecting free shipping is a bit too much. I'd compare the shipping prices for books you want on several european shops, or trying to get enough friends to buy books to get to the 125 euros.

Yes, of course, but most of the sites dont have thier shipping costs without asking them, and I a mnot sure yet what exactly will I buy, so I would be grateful if someone could tell me what shops have good shipping prices.

Unfortunately, shipping costs to abroad will be a bit expensive.
I have a deal with UPS but it's only for larger orders that it starts to be a good deal, for smaller orders regular post is cheapest; though not at all cheap, sometimes the shipping cost for one book equals the price of the book...
If I could sell more on the EU or international market I could get a better deal on shipping, however I have no intention to compete with the national Go Shops, so I don't see that coming in the near future or at all.
My guess is that Het Paard will be the best choise if there is no national vendor, or if the local vendor don't carry the desired items.

All this said, since I don't usually sell outside of Sweden, everything that I do sell is kind of a bonus for me, so I'm willing to discuss discounts, especially when it comes to larger orders.
